Reduce Materials

At Pitreavie we work with a wealth of suppliers around the world. There are constant changes in packaging technology related to your sector, whether it’s food, cosmetics, manufacturing or pharmaceuticals. The packaging industry invests in research and development to design products that are more durable, lightweight, secure, and environmentally friendly.

All of these add up to cost savings. More durable packages reduce the probability of transit damage. Lightweight packaging limits the amount of space you take up in carrier trucks. Secure packaging reduces the probability of spoilage and damage. Your brand reputation also benefits from environment-friendly products.

Our expert packaging team will advise you on the most cost effective way in which to leverage new materials to reduce your overall packaging cost.

Reduce Storage

Reduced Inventory maximises both working capital and warehouse space.

With every company looking to maximise space, it is important to consider the costs associated with storing your packaging materials. You may struggle to find room for the large amounts of corrugated cardboard, paper, and plastic you use to package and ship materials.

Unfortunately, some companies feel they are forced to buy in bulk to reduce costs to a manageable level. Some are faced with long lead times and are therefore forced to carry large stock levels to cope with any sharp rises in demand. It also goes without saying, the more storage space you dedicate to packaging material, the less space you have for finished product.

Instead of shipping all of your corrugated cardboard and paper orders directly to you, Pitreavie will hold stock of all your packaging materials, ready to be called upon at a moment’s notice.You might be concerned about cutting it too close and not having the packaging you need in time. If that’s the case,we can offer pre-scheduled or automated releases of packing materials based on your company’s historical data.

By taking a holistic approach to cost savings, our packaging experts will identify ways to improve your packaging process without compromising on quality.

Reduce Transport

The cost of transportation is a major issue whether you are using your own vehicles or operating through courier companies.

Packaging can have a major impact on the costs, whether its optimising the box size to get more per pallet or increasing the specification to dramatically reduce product damage.

At Pitreavie we employ a specialist design team who can work with you to examine your current shipping methods and advise on different material and pack size configurations. Our shipping yield software allows us to maximise pallet optimization.

Enhance your brand reputation: Machinery introduces precision, giving you perfectly packaged and secured products. So you can present a better-looking product to your customers as well as reducing the likelihood of damage.

Not only can our expert team work with you to identify opportunities we employ bespoke software to audit and demonstrate overall cost savings.

Reduce Returns

Reduce Returns - Properly Packaged Products

Product damage costs your business in many ways. When a customer returns a damaged product, manufacturing, packaging, shipping, and returning it are all sunk costs. Moreover, you’ve possibly damaged your relationship with your customer. There are two leading causes of product damage: poor packaging and transit damage.

Our expert packaging team will work with you to determine the best way to eliminate damaged product. We have a variety of products that can improve load stability, reduce harsh vibrations and improve burst and crush strengths.
